Summary: A DULL SEQUEL TO A GREAT MOVIE JAWS
Review: I saw JAWS 2 after I saw JAWS and there is just no comparison JAWS would chomp this wannabe out of the water and here's why. For one reason there's no ROBERT SHAW as QUINT in this film to steal the show with his obsseivness with sharks and no RICHARD DREYFUSS either to lay down some wisecracks. I got the feeling while watching this movie ROY SCHINDER didn't want to be in this movie either and it showas up in his acting performance. Also you see the GREAT WHITE SHARK too often in this film and it takes away a lot of the suspense the first one had so it is best to leave this one on the shelf.

Summary: The First Jaws sequel is the best of the sequels. Solid film
Review: Jaws 2 is a fine sequel. It can't compare to Jaws but it is a very enjoyable film that is helped by fine acting and a classy score.

Summary: Unnecessary Sequels.....Gotta Love Em
Review: Jaws is one of those films that needs no sequel. C'mon, how the hell do you make a sequel to Jaws? The story was told and there's no more to tell! Sequel? The Exorcist fell victim to this as well. Some movies you can make sequels to because you can actually take the story somewhere else. The Terminator's a good example. But when you get a simple open and shut premise like Jaws, the only thing a sequel will do is rehash the plot of the original film in one way or another coz there's no new territory to take a story like Jaws in. Friday The 13th is a good example of this. So, what we get with Jaws 2 is basically the same plot as the first one, so immediately the suspense is down a notch coz you know what to expect. Personally I can't buy the concept of another giant shark invading the same area for no reason. People say it's an offspring of the original shark. Yeah, right. Now I'm sold on it. Kind of like Son Of Dracula, eh? Roy is back and is a saving grace for the film. There's some gruesome shark attacks as well as a few fairly suspenseful ones. The movie isn't THAT bad, it's just unnecessary. It won't kill you to watch it, but you'll be wishing you were watching Jaws.

Summary: Saw It Once and That's It!!!
Review: I was excited at the age of 17 when I heard that a sequel to Jaws was coming out only three years after the first movie. I went, saw it and was not too impressed, however. The Brody boys had aged a bit since the first movie (different actors this time), Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) gets the axe and another aggressive shark prowling off the shores of Amity Island looking for victims, picking up where the deceased shark left off. Some movies that have been a box office smash usually have sequels, and most of these have not been successful. As for this movie, Jaws II did not fit the criteria as the first Jaws movie did and I would not purchase a DVD or a VHS on sequels such as this. Total waste of time!!!

Summary: AN EXELLENT SEQUEL!!!!
Review: JAWS is a film classic. So the pressure in making this uneveidable sequel must have been either "oh god this isn't going to work!" or "This is JAWS, we can't loose!" At the box office: Fair. With the critics: Don't ask. Mostly just because it's a sequel to a great american film. Most of the original cast is here, Roy Schieder is Martin Brody, Lorraine Gary is his wife Ellen, and Murray Hamilton is Larry (hey there's no shark!) Vaughan. The shark effects (This time by Roy Arbogast) need improvement, but are exceptible. As for plot, it's pretty much a carbon copy of the original, with one exception: the teenagers stalked by the shark is reminicent of HALLOWEEN (Though they were released the same year so you can give it's writers half the credit). All in all, a good, good movie worth a look at.

Summary: Pretty decent follow-up to the original
Review: The first, and really the only good, sequel to the classic original, "Jaws 2" finds a Great White menace once again lurking off the coast of Amity Island. Roy Scheider ably reprises his role as Cheif Brody, who remembers the warning signs from his first encounter with a big shark and tries to convince the town council of the danger.This film has a decent script and decent acting. Yes, Richard Dreyfuss is missed, but this movie holds its own. The only drawbacks are that the mechanical shark used in the film looks obviously artificial. The other is that the element of suspence that kept you on your toes in the original is lacking here. You know when the shark is going to strike. That said, there are plenty of good moments in this film, and makes for an enjoyable view.

Summary: Jaws 2
Review: Jaws 2 pickes up four years after the original,and it's not as bad as some say.While its no where near as good it's predecessor it is far better than most other shark films.
The plot of Jaws 2 is that another,bigger shark has found its way into the waters of Amity,the same island from the original,.
After the some boaters are killed police chief Brody,one of the heros of the first film, is sure that another shark is patroling the shores of Amity,but most people think he is just paranoid.
Chief Brody almost goes crazy trying to get the city counsel to do somthing about the shark,but still they don't believe him.Then one day at the beach Brody goes insane ,and starts shooting bullets into water the because he thought he saw the shark,but it was only a school of fish.The next day Brody is fired for causing panic on a public beach.After all that Brody reaches his breaking point,and just simpily gives up,that is until he learns that his sons have sneaked out to go sailing with some friends,the mayors son is among them,.Then the action starts as Brody his wife Ellen,and Hendricks,his former deputy turned chief, go out to save the teens,and kill the shark.
I Think this movie was good,yes some parts were a bit stupid,but hey its a sequel.Roy Scheider dose a great job as a man who is powerless to stop the beast because of the mayors love of money. Murry Hamilton also gives a good preformance as the greedy mayor whose only concern is the money,not the people of Amity.I beleive that both Scheider and Hamilton hold this film together in it's weakest moments.Also John Williams score is magnificent,it is ALMOST as good as his score for the original
The writres and director did a nice job too.
In conclusion this film would have done better if it was not expected to be as good as the original.I would recomend it those who enjoyed the first or those just looking for a good movie to watch

Summary: Total Crap
Review: I see everybody else liked it, but I didn't enjoy it at all. It ruined the first one, and was very similar, but very different. I probably would've preferred it if Speilburg made it, but he didn't. The first one, to me, was totally ruined. I'm sorry if you disagree with me, it's only my opinion.
